@steveroyle I am unlikely to ever even be a Fellow, but they do fund my team at the moment and honestly this is so profoundly disappointing. Of course no one else had the same level as experience as Nurse at interview, no one else had been given that much power for so long. It’s really time to step aside…

The Guardian reports that Paul Nurse is set to become President of the Royal Society again. Issues: holding the role twice is unprecedented, role never held by a woman, Nurse would be 81 by the end of term, outsized influence of Nurse on UK science.

Importantly, the large C-terminal tail of CBP contains two adjacent IDRs with different sequence properties and competing positive and negative effects on condensate formation. The presence of -ve IDR is required to balance the +ve IDR.
We've known for many years that #CBP (and #p300) form nuclear bodies. The formation of these condensates can regulate activity and transcriptional outputs. But what is the role of individual IDRs in driving these processes?
This was a super effort by our team, special mention to Nic Carruthers for her work to HaloTag endogenous CBP and amazing collaborators @TwelvetreesLab & @TimCraggs
This allows condensate behaviour to respond to different inputs, such as lysine #acetylation in IDRs in other CBP domains. It can help to explain how #transcription factors binding to different regions of CBP differentially regulate CBP activity. #enhancers #generegulation #llps #chromatin #imaging #biochemistry #molecularbiology #CellBiology
Bit late posting this here: Out now on #biorxiv: our grad student Katie took a deep dive into how different #IDRs affect the behaviour of #CBP #condensates in the nucleus. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.06.04.597392v2
@scholpp_lab_LSI @CellySally @jamesbriscoe @amjeve have a look at this guide https://quantixed.org/2024/08/14/exodus-moving-to-mastodon/ there's a tip there to enrich your feed.
Your choice of server doesn’t matter (well, it does, but in terms of who you can see/speak to it usually doesn’t).
Migration is easy if you want to switch.

If you wonder what splice isoforms exist for your gene(s) of interest, or if you are interested in exploring tissue/cancer-specific splicing, we have a new tool for that.

Great to see this out- ABC was a great resource but this looks even better- was super interested to hear about it at #EMBOenhanceropathies a couple of weeks back #enhancers #generegulation https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.11.09.563812v1
